In a year when the Bills’ pass rushers haven’t been able to consistently bring down the quarterback, Phillips hasn’t had that problem.

Johnson is a software developer, and his brother, Tom, is a mechanical engineer, which helps spark his creativity when it comes to finagling a way to cook baked potatoes with crushed beer cans and reused coal. Donnie Darts is a real estate agent who can’t even go to the game today because he’s showing a house in nearby Cheektowaga at 4 o’clock.’
